Real Madrid vs. Almeria | LaLiga Highlights | ESPN FC

Madrid of course in white, Almeria out to kick off having lost every league game that they have ever played in this stadium. Danny Ceballos. Benítez Jr. and Benzema! A fifth minute lead for Real Madrid and a piece of history for Karim Benzema who joins Hugo Sánchez as the fourth highest goal scorer all time in the history of La Liga. On that left side when you face Benítez Jr. on 1v1 there is no cover, free a lot of space and once he's arrived at that position there is only one man arriving from Real Madrid and that's Benzema. Everybody is ball watching so the movement of Karim Benzema always in the right position. Benítez Jr. looking for that man. That partnership has been working so well in the past couple of years and the first goal for Benzema who makes history. Yet another assist for Benítez Jr. Benzema, Rodrigo, Lucas Vázquez. and continued his gallop forward. He sets up the chance for number two, for Benzema and for Real Madrid. Rodrigo that is done amazing fantastic how he holds the entrance here is no Offside his baskets who finds try to find out in the second post But there is a long way there and right there That's the most important that skill is just beautiful nor easy superb the way that he holds the ball Controls the defender make himself strong into the box and that back heel is just brilliant holds once again setback for Benzema Who of course was he arrived in that position is always in the right place? And he knows exactly where to put the ball for the second one for remedy very easy game for remedy That's exactly what they wanted Lucas Vasquez ends him up. Vasquez, was he tripped? Referee points. I have to try to help the defence. A lot of experience from Vasquez. That World Cup is, World Pass is beautiful. And he arrived a little bit late. No need to put, but to recover. It's Bensema, who has a first half hat-trick. Thank you, Amy. Ramessani! And one back for Almeria. much against the run of the play against the script as it was unfolding. Pulls one back with just his second goal of the season. How easy for Amelia to score a goal from almost nowhere, no pressing right there, arriving second line. Real Madrid was thinking about half time already. Real had other plans, you see from your team. Game was almost over, it was just a matter of a few seconds, you control it, you dominate it, score three chances, so it's great to be on the way. Rodrigo! Crisp and laser-like, and the three goal lead is restored in fairly spectacular fashion. for Celotti, could see the first goal in that first 45 minutes. What a start of the second half. Control, turn, where is the keeper? I want to put the ball right there, top corner. Well deserved for Rodrigo who was trying the first 45 minutes, was moving around, that assist to Karim Benzema and that's a fantastic, beautiful strike. No chance for Martinez, who tried. from Valverde inside press higher. Theo and for two. He's coming on the pitch long. Signs of carelessness from Real Madrid as the new goal of the season. Uppresing, we're talking about Almeria stepping forward, a fantastic cross and Robertone free inside the box. Sportillo has replaced Buchmal in that right side and Robertone was in charge to replace De La Hoz arriving in second. Rodrigo Benzema. Rodrigo! Appeal for offside and their prayers are answered. I think Rodrigo was already in offsides right there, as you can see. He tried to hold himself but he's not on the line of the ball, he's ahead of it. So, the offside for the referee. Good call. Handing not entirely secure but no Real Madrid player in the vicinity. Bedinga. Just losing Benzema for a second and that's a penalty He lost his way. He went down because he was fouled by Benzema. Yes, exactly that. Totally true. Benzema, Mane, Benzema again, Asensio, Kamavinga, Benzema! It deserved a goal. Kava Hal, keeping it alive. The wonderful, intricate approach from the left-back. ...away between Asensio, Kamavinga, there you go, the par-kill of Asensio once again. It's Kamavinga, looking for Benzema. and headed in by Eduardo Camavinga for a flag. Looks like it. Looks like Lucas Vasquez is already offside. A great effort by Kamavinga, who was joining the party. Benzema. time. Sensio. So funny to see Benzema complaining like, you know, you had me there. You could have given me the ball. But of course, if you are in front of the goal, that's what Asensio has to do, try to finish the play. Knowing what is coming against Chelsea this midweek and Real Madrid needed to get a good result. It was comfortable. No injuries and three more points. try from Asensio towards the bar. I was asking maybe that they keep it touched a little bit of the ball. No chance.
